BIO

RICK REVEL

When your last name by definition literally means a musical celebration, you best be ready to live up to your name. Since the age of twelve old, Rick has been playing music professionally. The youngest member of the band, Uncle Bill and the Hillbillies, Rick became an audience favorite and soon caught the eye of Nashville, TN.

By age fifteen, he debuted on television on the Carl Tipton Show and his professional career as a Country Music artist sprouted wings. Taking some sage advice from Roy Acuff, the teenager from a farm in West Tennessee set his sights on Music Row. With a dream in one hand and determination in the other, music executives soon discovered not only could Rick sing, but he could also write a song too.

Meeting Loretta Lynn in 1976 would be a big career changer and validate Rick as a performer and songwriter. He signed with King Coal Publishing in 1977 as an exclusive writer and also became the entertainment director at Loretta Lynn’s Dude Ranch at Hurricane Mills, TN. After opening the show for Loretta in Williamsport, PA, the Queen of Country Music paid him a huge compliment. She told Rick, “You are an entertainer’s entertainer.” When he asked why she paid such a delightful compliment she simple replied, “I’m an entertainer and you entertain me every time you perform.”

As a singer/songwriter Rick has penned over 1,500 songs and has hit the national charts multiple times. Recently “That Muscle Shoals Sound” hit number three and “The Father of the Blues” came in at number four. He has had three other songs in the top ten and a couple more in the top 40.

In addition to making over a thousand live stage performances, he has appeared both in motion pictures and television. In the film “A Walk In The Woods” he shared screen time with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte. On the small screen he has been the co-host and host of three shows with a national audience. His latest TV show is titled “History Highway”, which airs on his own TV channel called AME-TV (American Music & Entertainment Television). The network reaches over 120,000,000 households on Roku and Amazon Firestick.
